OPEN LETTER BY ANIMALS TO THOSE WHO TREAT THEM LIKE ANIMALS

Rights Holder: Les ÉchappésOriginal Language: French

While a number of voices have been raised in the name of animal rights, animals have never taken the floor themselves. In this highly original work, Allain Bourgrain-Duborg gives them a voice — each of these 16 chapters are narrated by an animal treated savagely by humans.

A pig explains that it can be killed shortly after birth by being thrown against a wall, sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for their favorite food — jelly fish, sharks are de-finned just to help man’s virility…

The inhumanity goes on and on and on…

Allain Bougrain-Dubourg has dedicated his life to the protection of animals since he was 12 years old. In 1986, he became the president of the Association of Protection of Birds. He manages the Foundation for Biodiversity Research, is a member of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE) and the National Council of Ecological Transition.
